stang_01 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 A couple of days ago turned on my XBOX. Whast did I see? The dreaded ring of death. (Not again). I couldnt beleive it only this time instead of buying it at Costco I bought it at Game Stop. So I couldnt return it I was stuck. I went on You Tube and saw how to fix it with 8 pennies. What do I got to loose its garbage anyways so after about an hour following the the directions on fixing the problem came the moment of truth. I was shocked NO red lights it worked!!! Thank you You Tube. Quote

dr hypothesis Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Those vids on YouTube are the real deal. Though I think it costs more then 8 cents. A few bucks at least. Mostly for the Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste. I bought a 360 a month after they launched (Dec. 05) and was able to keep it running until a month or two ago. I got the RROD just a year after I initially bought it. Searched around the net and found the fix that people are doing the videos on YouTube of. It works, no doubt. If it's under warranty then get them to fix it. At the time mine initally died they didn't have the warranty they have now. So, it was either pay $150 or try and fix it myself. After you open the case your warranty is VOID. Kinda pissed me off they instituted that warranty after I had opened mine up. Oh, well. With the fix it lasted another 2 years.

MXmike800 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 my dad and little brother fixed his, they also bought a fan that would be like in your computer case and cut a hole in the 360 case and mounted it so it stays cool, no more R O D Quote

The total was 21$ and some change. Only because I had to buy the electric tape, the silicon glue, and the most expensive part the dam tool kit $15.99. But alot cheaper than a new Xbox for sure. Quote
dr hypothesis Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Tool kit must of been for the torx heads? Did you get the Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste? That stuff does wonders. The stuff Microsoft uses is junk and applied horribly.
